I just used my tent this past weekend for the first time and was very pleased with it. My husband and I hiked with the tent and other gear for about an hour up and off a fairly steep forest trail. The tent was lightweight, and the small footprint made it easy to find a good spot where there wasn't a...

Perfect Tent for 1 or 2

Reviewed by Tammy in OR from Oregon on Friday, July 20, 2018

I love this tent. I've had it for two years and used it a number of times backpacking, hiking about 150 miles carrying it. It is fast and easy to put up or pack up. I've never had an issue with condensation. There is room at my feet for my pack if I want to bring it in, but there are two vestibules to store it outside under the rain fly. I like that the mesh is closer and the rain fly is further out--I feel both snug but not claustrophobic in it. I *love* that when sharing this tent, each person has their own door and vestibule--much easier than climbing over each other! I will say that sharing this with my large husband and his giant air mattress was too crammed. But sharing with any two average middle aged ladies is very comfy. And it is not so bulky that carrying it for just myself doesn't make sense.

I really have loved this tent! Easy to set up and take down. Its a bit snug for a 2 man... but it works. I did have some huge rain storms that caused it to leak at the zipper seams. It was at the same spot on both sides right by the small plastic window. I'm not exactly happy about that, but I just bought a foot print to tie up above when I go where its going to rain a lot. I recommend this tent.

I've had this tent for about 3 years and haven't run into any problems. Great tent especially for the price. My dog has been in and out of this tent a million times and it hasn't shown any signs of leaking.

I've had my tent for 5 years and have used it a lot in various conditions. The only downside to it is that the price continues right climb on it. I bought it for $75. This tent will hold up to some serious rain and wind but I've never used it below 40 degrees. In Vermont we see 40-50 regularly in the summer and it's done very well. I'd buy another one if this one wore out, but thankfully they hold up well!

I purchased this tent, basically on a whim, a few years ago. This tent hasn't let me down yet! I've used it for bikepacking, backpacking, and car camping with no complaints at all.
I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it can withstand rain, leaving a dry spot where the tent once stood, and it dries out pretty quickly with the help of something like a 'Packtowel' microfiber towel.
The way the tent/fly combo is designed is great for keeping warm air in, but never making it muggy inside the tent, because of its vent placement. Even getting out of the tent to use the restroom, I've re-entered the tent and did not feel like there was any loss of heat.
I'm not a gram-weenie in any field so this is a lightweight tent to me as well.

At this price this tent is a great deal. If anything, it's a great "starter" tent for anyone who wants to get into camping!

I am 6 feet 4 inches, so I used this as a 1-Person tent, but it was probably my favorite purchase for the whole season! Nice little design, packs up neatly, and does pretty well in windy weather (its rain fly is a little more aerodynamic than most, so it did not get blown over as easily as the tents of my fellow campers). I used it for about three months camping in many different climates in Montana and it made it through the spring and summer pretty easily. At least for me, and again I am tall, there was not very much head room when I would sit up in the tent, but that was okay for me. Also, sometimes rain would pool on the top of the tent and little spritzes of water would get in, but it was not too bad, and I figured out a system with the guy lines that made it not a big issue, at all. I would sleep diagonal and there was just enough room to stretch out, so that was good. I also very much appreciated the two vestibules, a nice place to put muddy boots for the night. Overall, I am very happy I got this tent! For the very low price I paid on this site due to all the discounts adding up, I would definitely recommend it!

Just got back from first trip with this tent and I will be buying another for my son. We were out in the Eastern Sierra and it held up very very well in an overnight wind storm that gusted hard enough to make it difficult to stand up straight. Night time lows in the 30's and I had very little condensation/ice inside my tent compared to everyone else. It is quite roomy. I had head room to spare when sitting up and ample space to stretch out, though I am 5'5"so I don't require a lot of height. It's totally comfortable for 2 average sized people. And the double doors mean no crawling over your tent mate! The tent was REALLY easy to set up. After the third setup I was getting it up in under 2 minutes and once set up in the dark almost as quickly.
Downside: It is on the heavy side, but then again it doesn't claim to be lightweight. When I had taken out extra stakes, etc. The bag, tent, fly, poles and 5 stakes weighed 4.9lbs. Also it does not come with a footprint and I ended up re-purposing an old tarp which added another few ounces. But for the money - I'm not complaining.

Yes, but as far as I can tell not from Sierra Trading Post. The Zenith and the Zephyr are essentially the same tent. Just different color schemes. You can buy a Zephyr 2 or Zephyr 3 footprint from numerous online retailers and it will fit your Zenith tent perfectly. Hope that helps!

“I purchased my tent from a consignment gear shop and found 14 stakes in the packaging. How many stakes do I actually need to properly stake down the tent?

From what I recall I would need:
4: Corners
2: Head tassels (upper and lower)
1: Foot of the tent
2: Sides

Therefore I would bring 9 stakes plus 1 spare. Does this sound correct?”

my tent (new) came with fifteen sturdy aluminum stakes. remember there is a footprint and fly also. so i think that adds at least four stakes, they are in a hook type shape. personally, i use titanium stakes when i backpack, mostly for bragging rights. thank you for asking.

You are correct, I also bring small compression bag's to fill when stakes can not be emplaced. If you cant afford them just use old wool socks and fill them with rocks or sand to tie your tent off. Hope this helps and enjoy

“i got my tent. love it. what is the small piece of mesh for? it is about 12 by 6 inches, has little hooks on it. ”

Sorry. I don't know the Mamot. I am sure a pro is the Alps price. I don't know tents well enough, but my son has a 2 man Kelty and this Alps is very similar, with the star gazing design. We have just used this tent 3 times, and happy so far.

This tent is worth every penny.....light-weight, roomy, and super adorable. My wife and I just used it for autumn camping up in Vail CO. I recommend purchasing the footprint with the tent to extend the life of your tent

This Alp tent is a very tough act to follow with its feature, price, weight ,and it might be worth the wait for more to come in.
